Artificial Life on the Horizon
- nazgulnarsil 17y agoquestion: given the current state of machine learning and artificial life research, should we expect the first AI to be silicon or carbon based? both?
- Bjoern 17y agoAccording to popularist Ray Kurzweil, Silicon. According to others who play with DNA sequencers (hacking Ecoli bacteria etc.) .. carbon. Some people believe its not possible to make silicon AI. Others do (memristor development, blue brain project etc.) Let's see what will happen :)
- TrevorJ 17y agoDoes anybody else find it scary that this article seems to indicate we think we can "reverse global warming, solve the world’s energy crisis, and pave the way for breakthrough antibiotics and vaccines… all in one fell swoop."? Sure, that potential is there, but let's be honest, the greater danger is that we screw things up royally.
- Bjoern 17y agoACK, scary .. probably just wanted to get attention. - Reverse global warming Would be very difficult, take 100k's of years - World energy crisis? Heh, fusion again? - Antibiotics Hm, recently Quorum Sensing between bacteria seems to be an interesting break-through of Anti-biotics research.
